The only thing really missing from this install is this issue with the sound. I've searched all over the forums and i found one thing where you get the model and codecs and write them to a file, however, I can't seem to find what my "model" is because none of the postings have anything about Lenovo laptops. Here is the command they all asked for: Code:

With that info, how do I get the model, and how do I get my speakers to stop playing when headphones are plugged in. Also, if i manually change the output device to headphones itll play just headphones in the sys prefs... so it CAN work, but it doesn't.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad L512 as well.

Thanks so much to whoever can answer this...

The Ubuntu forums are nearly useless... ive never gotten a correct answer back on that site.

Also, i've filed a bug report and i know it's the ALSA plugin, i don't know how to fix it though.

What are your alsamixers like? Run "alsamixer -c0" (no quotes) in a terminal.

All you can really do is wait for the bug to be fixed. I'm assuming you either included alsa-info.sh output or used ubuntu-bug linux or ubuntu-bug -s audio to include debugging info

The mixer channel to do so is usually called front. It might be pulse restricting it. EDIT: I see you have no front. You can use the M key to mute a channel. Try playing with the mixers.
